26 October at 12:00

Yesterday, reports did the round via Il Mattino that both Napoli and Juventus were offered the chance to sign Norwegian youngster Erling Braut Haaland for a fee of just five million euros whilst the player played for Molde in Norway.

Today, Napoli's official Twitter account denied the rumours, stating that: '​We read that Il Mattino interviewed an observer that Haaland was proposed to Napoli for 5 million, the 'news' being false and surprising that, before writing it, the journalist did not contact Napoli to confirm or deny it.'
